Glenwood Springs investigators are looking into a case of human remains found east of town and matched to a Rifle man missing since his release from jail in 2013.

His cause of death remains unknown.

A hiker who had been on Lookout Mountain in March reported finding skeletal remains. The hiker found the remains on land that is part of Glenwood Springs, and personnel from the Garfield County sheriff’s and coroner’s offices responded, retrieving a skull and jawbone from the site, according to a coroner’s office press release sent Wednesday afternoon.

Among the remains were also deteriorated clothing and an ID for Thomas Norberg, a Rifle man who would now be 40.

Norberg’s next of kin reported they had not been in contact with him since 2012, when he was jailed in Garfield County in an assault case.

“Norberg was released in January of 2013 and failed to appear for a court date in February 2013,”

Bipartisan legislation to help fight human trafficking and protect vulnerable children is moving through the U.S. House of Representatives, with Rep. Tim Walberg of Michigan’s District 7 involved in the efforts.

On Friday, the House passed the Improving Support for Missing and Exploited Children Act, also known as H.R. 1808. This bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Walberg, strengthens the efforts of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to recover missing children and support youth who are the victims of violent crimes.

“No child should experience this most heinous of crimes,” Rep. Walberg said when explaining the issue. “The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children plays a critical role in helping vulnerable children, and this bipartisan bill will support and enhance their work to carry out their vital mission.”

Also on Tuesday, Rep. Tim Walberg, in his role as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Health,

The Virginia Supreme Court has turned down a state request that it toss out a filing by The Innocence Project in a pending actual innocence case.

The high court’s order last Friday is the latest development in sparring over a May 4 filing on behalf of Sherman Brown, an imprisoned, 69-year-old Ivy man who claims he is innocent of the 1969 murder of a 4-year-old Albemarle County boy.

The dispute centers on the Virginia Attorney General office’s perceived conflict between a Supreme Court rule, which allowed the May 4 filing, and the state law implementing Virginia’s Writ of Actual Innocence 16 years ago that the state says does not explicitly permit such a filing.

The Innocence Project says the state’s position is wrong and complains that while the state would demand strict compliance with claimed requirements, the state itself violated Supreme Court rules by exceeding an authorized page limit and using an unauthorized
